Britain's Got Talent Meltdown! 10 Year Old Singer Breaks Down On Live TV

Filed under: Anglophilia > Simon Cowell

Little Hollie Steel is definitely not made of steel!

The aspiring singer made it all the way to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent, quite an accomplishment.

During the live show on Friday, unfortunately, Hollie's nerves got the best of her and the child forgot her lyrics, with her performance crumbling shortly thereafter. Steel began crying and it was quite sad to watch.

The child begged to start over again, and she was told that she couldn't. However, Simon Cowell, who is the creator and also a judge on Britain's Got Talent vetoed his own producers and let Hollie perform again later on in the broadcast.

WTF????

That is sooooo not fair!

Yes, she is 10. But there are no "do-vers" in competition shows like that!

Don't you agree????

CLICK HERE to watch Hollie crumble!

Update: The judges put her through to the final! WTF????

That's BULLSHIT!

Aren't there some "official rules" that this is breaking????

Everyone who gets flustered from now on should get the chance to start over again too!

If Susan Boyle hits a wrong note on Saturday's finals, stop and do-over!!!!!!!

Outrage!!!!!!

      Really?? C'mon Perez, remove your head outta your ass and have a heart. She's a child dipshit. Adult rules don't apply. Susan Boyle is a big girl or had'nt you noticed? Keyriste. Do you kick puppies too??



    2. 502

      ugh can't believe they put her through…false hope false hope



    3. 503

      the brat wasn't breaking down, she was having a bitch fit!
      no tears=bitch fit
      she needs to chill out
      waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



    4. 504

      Poor little monarch butterflies, and their parents put them through…



    5. 505

      Your a grown man, are you really "OUTRAGED!!!!!" that a 10 year old got a second chance? I mean come on, get over it.



    6. 506

      shes 10 give her a break seriously



    7. 507

      Crocodile tears…fix up!



    8. 508

      what an annoying little brat. you cant teach kids that if they cry they will get there way.



    9. 509

      she's a 10 year old girl with an amazing voice how dare you say that she didn't deserve another chance. she has more talent than you will ever have. even if she didn't mess up she would have gotten thorugh anyway because she's such a great singer. perez, get a life seriously. oh and btw she's a way better singer than susan boyle, don't you agree? people have blown susan boyle's voice way out of proportion, she's not even that good, i could probably sing at the same level that she does. if susan wins tonight i will be so angry, personally i think stavros flatley should win it, they're amazing.



    10. 510

      oh and btw way she is not fake crying, i don't understand how you sick bastards could think that she is.

    11. mp23 says – reply to this


      511

      i think shes brave for even doing it again. i hope susan boyle doesnt win.
      pretty sad youre going after a 10 year old.



    12. 512

      Sorry but she is 10 it is hard being a kid these days I feel for her Simon did what he thought was best……



    13. 513

      annoying cry.



    14. 514

      As a mother, I could totally feel her pain.



    15. 515

      How old is she again? Simon did absolutely the right thing!! This is, as she said, the happiest day of her life….turned into her most devastating day of her life. That would be just too much for a little girl to get over I think. She just crumbled. I doubt Susan Boyle would react the same way. Yeah Simon!!! I'm so proud of you!!! You ROCK!!!!!!!



    16. 516

      Ummm not to be mean…or maybe I am but this makes you look like a complete asshole and hypocrite!

      NO DO OVER PEREZ?

      Ummm….if that is the case wth is your deal and asking prop 8 to be overturned?

      It's already been decided and everyone made their vote….you guys lost and you want a do over?

      I'm just saying…you should apply some of your own thoughts and opinions into your own life. Maybe it would make more sense.



    17. 517

      Seriously Perez, whats your deal?
      I mean, throwing punches at Lohan is one thing but this little girl is 10!
      I always knew u liked dick, but I didnt know you were a cocksucker.
      Get your act together you jizzguzzing babyraper.

    18. 518

      well, i mean she's just a 10 year old girl. i don't think the crying was fake, there's no doubt that she was very upset. kudos to simon, in my opinion, for giving her a second chance.



    19. 519

      Yeah I get it she's a little kid, she would have got sympathy votes blah blah… she hardly forgot the words though, she just stuttered. Oh God, if anyone believed those crocodile tears it's beyond me… clearly the producers and whoever don't want to look like pieces of shit in front of everyone. Any other person would be just as nervous as her, if they started to cry no one would give a shit…



    20. 520

      Omegosh .. that's also a way to get votes .. just play the cute girl *_*



    21. 521

      when I read about it, I felt bad for her. Then when I actually watched it, wow she threw a temper tantrum onstage like a little 4 year old! Jesus.

      Simon just wanted her to stop crying lol there was no reason for them to let her do it again, except the fact that she was throwing a tantrum and the only way to shut her up was to let her sing again.

    22. pugio says – reply to this


      522

      Her "tears" were horribly fake and giving in to her tantrum was pretty shocking. What a little brat!



    23. 523

      Perez is not mean, he's realistic . Come on, every body knows that if Susan make a wrong note they wont make her restart. It's ridiculous. She's in the big yard right now, not at the kindergarden



    24. 524

      I'm sorry but she wasn't even really crying until they said she couldn't do it over… i dunno she seems a bit diva-ish to me…



    25. 525

      your opinion of this makes me want to throw up. grow a heart and some balls while your at it.



    26. 526

      poor girl dude, give her a break, she's 10, and i bet she's not stupid enough not to realize how many people were watching that..



    27. 527

      Come on Perez, give the kid some slack!! if it was you you'd probably never had gone on the stage. She's a talent. Talents can't be ignored. Pardon us countries that don't except any kind of (trashY) music but choose to look longer and dig deeper to find the real deal! If you were to demolish all of the musicians who have had the sound of their voice adjusted, my guess is that that would leave app. 20 - 30 percent total of actual good singers left in the states (cough cough hollywood) and wearthy to be known !



    28. 528

      I can understand why he gave her another chance, she has an angelic voice, everyone makes mistakes, she is only 10 years old, stop whining about it u people!!!



    29. 529

      That is bull shit. She wasn't even crying! I don't really care if she is 10 years old. If someone else messes up are they going to get a do over? NO! So why should see. Gosh this is what pisses me off! She does not deserve to be in the finals at all. If she wins that show is stupid!

      530

      Right, Hollie was amazing. She hit more notes than your darling adopted Yank Susan would ever dream of. She deserved the right to perform again, nerves get to the best performers too.
      If you Yanks could have a look at Youtube and watch something other than Susan Boyle singing, you'd see how stupid you all look rooting for someone who you think is amazing because she hasn't touched a botox injection. There are acts on BGT who haven't had that international coverage and they are 1,000,000 times better than Susan fricking Boyle. We never raved something stupid about Adam Lambert or whoever. We're voting, you're not so shut up.



    31. 531

      yay! i love herrr



    32. 532

      Well — yes, I have to agree. She's a little girl, and perhaps too young (isn't there some kind of age "limit" on there ?).



    33. 533

      The whole point of britians got talent is that they can be any age!
      But she is just spoilt. A good singer but spoilt.

    34. Delsy says – reply to this


      534

      she is a little kid but diversity fucking won yes iu am so excited



    35. 535

      Are you serious? she is a ten year old girl! she obviously is going to be more nervous than a 40-something year old, give her a break she was amazing and was great in the final.



    36. 536

      BLESS HER HEART. poor thing. i would never have the guts to do that when i was 10. regardless of her messing up, she is very talented.



    37. 537

      poor little girl



    38. 538

      Ok, she might be 10 but throwing a temper tantrum on state is NOT cool! I'm SURE she knew there were no do-overs, from the beginning! I can't believe they allowed her to continue! Yes she's good but the temper tantrum was ridiculous!



    39. 539

      Sorry man she is a 10 year old child she was excellent and she got up and sang the song again flawless. I couldn't get up and do what she done. Simon was right and she did deserve a second chance, it was pure nerves



    40. 540

      Brave?!! They called her the 'bravest little girl in the world' ok i know maybe this is thinking too much into it but come on! People stuggling to survive every day in 3rd world countries and a little stage school biatch seems to be the bravest of them all? BOLLOCKS! And yeah there were no tears… just her whining. And her pushy mum. No one else would get to do it over but because shes 10 and looks a bit like a mouse it DOES not mean that she should. I hate this program anyway so i dont know why i was so bothered by it last night…



    41. 541

      i saw this cos i live in the uk.
      and i really do believe she should not have been given another chance :|
      does that make me mean?



    42. 542

      Perez that is the most DISCUISTING thing you have ever written!



    43. 543

      im sorry if this sounds rude…but she is 10 yrs old…and honestly she just sounds like a brat in this video. 10 yrs old may sound young, but my sister is 11 and most of her friends are 10 and they would never act like this! now i know they've never been put a sitution like this, but really?? couldnt she have handled this alittle more of a mature manner? If she(or her parents) believed she was old enough and mature enough to compete on a TV show, then she should be mature enough to conduct herself in a mature manner. just my thoughts



    44. 544

      what the fuck! that is so not fair, i agree that it can be nerve racking but for her to have a do-over is not right. I watched that performance and i did not see 1 honest tear she was crying crocodile tears!



    45. 545

      Re: elziebelzie – Seriously?! You limey bastards want your asses handed to you again by us Yanks? Keep the tough talk for the pubs.



    46. 546

      Re: AdamGlambert – learn to spell… it's "appalled," not "appouled."



    47. 547

      In the beginning I felt bad for her because she made a mistake and was upset but by the end it was clear that she is faking it. She looks like a spoiled brat. 10 isn't that young she knows what she is doing. I have a 13 year old sister so I know all about the fake crying boo hoo crap. I understand why Simon did that though because she is a child there would have been backlash. You could tell he wasn't buying it either.



    48. 548

      perez- seriously are you THAT heartless?!? the poor girl is only TEN!! it's not like her voice will magically get better or worse the next time around anyways!



    49. 549

      I heard her mom lying and she's really 12 yrs old~



    50. 550

      outrage? she's 10! have you taken a psychology course? she is not an adult and what happened was not an outrage. her talent deserved to get through to the finals.



    51. 551

      That poor girl! She's only 10, which is far too young to be under that kind of pressure anyway. And she has a lovely voice anyway, regardless of the fact that she forgot her words. Lots of singers do that at some point in their lives, and she couldn't cover it up because she's only 10 and she doesn't know how yet.



    52. 552

      Hey Perez, take your own advice. There are no do-overs. The same sex marriage thing has been voted on and gays were denied.



    53. 553

      I think it's not fair she got a second chance! The other children who performed didn't throw a tantrum! They had class and accepted they were not good enough! Listen, my niece is 10 yrs old she is competitive figure skating! She is taught that if you mess up you just finish your routine this shows how brave you are and it's good sportsmanship! She's not ready to perform at that level! She threw a huge tantrum! Children in the professional arts are trained to accept defeat in a positive manner! Throwing a tantrum & getting your way would not be tolerated in any theatre or performance! The judges were so wrong to let her have a second chance! My niece saw this and was really embarassed for this child who is the same age as my niece!



    54. 554

      She wasnt even crying she was faking - drove me mad and thank go SuBo didnt win i already feel i watched this programme and will never get my life back because the people who work with Simon won - Shocker



    55. 555

      Forget the fact that she cried and wether it was true tears or not this little girl has some true fucking talent and the way it works is that 2 people went through to the final from each semi! The first was the 1 with most public vote & then the judges pick between the next 2 top acts as to who else goes through and they made the right decision as she deserved it!!! On the night Diversity deserved to win, they were excellent & gave a far better performance that SuBo who just repeated her audition song!!!

      Diversity all the way! Yooooooooooo!!!



    56. 556

      I do not agree with you Perez! She's just a sweet little girl. Let her have her chance!



    57. 557

      I do feel very bad for little Holly..but I agree that she wasn't crying..there were no tears..but I do believe that she was very upset.



    58. 558

      SHE'S A FUCKING CHILD! they are much more prone to crack under pressure than an adult is. And the crying is real you douchebags. She's put so much effort into making it to the finals it's only natural that she'll break down and cry.



    59. 559

      Perez, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! THIS IS A 10 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL AND YES SHE NEEDED TO BE TREATED AS ONE. YOUR LACK OF COMPASSION IS MIND BOGGLING. THERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN EVER AND YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. I DON'T THINK THAT TEDDY IS EVEN SAFE WITH YOU… NOT AFTER THE WAY YOU REACTED TO THIS STORY. YOUR AND ASS AND I CAN'T WAIT TILL YOU ARE OFF THE NET. MY FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT THIS STORY OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN BOTHERED WITH YOUR SITE. IT AND YOU SUCK!



    60. 560

      No se le vió ninguna lágrima al llorar!!! No le creí nada a la nena cuando se hacía la que lloraba. Ni una lágrima!!! pleaseeeeeee!!! besos perez U R THE BEST! julieta de Argentina!



    61. 561

      wow. this is the stuff that makes your day. i dont think ive ever seen a bigger baby than you.



    62. 562

      Seems like a whiny little girl to me



    63. 563

      despite the second chance, shes got a voice of gold.
      10 years old, she didn't win, no harm done.



    64. 564

      She is one of the most disgusting kids I've ever seen. I was really irritated by her, and her pathetic singing voice wound me up too.



    65. 565

      They should've yanked the little twat offstage with a giant hook. The song blew ass and so did she. NEXT!



    66. 566

      Spoilt+Brat=Hollie Steel

      I swear she was ready to start stamping her feet at 03.16

      She should never have gone through!!



    67. 567

      Re: Brainbug
      Well said!



    68. 568

      Dude…what the hell was Simon supposed to do? If he had denied a crying 10 year old that would have made him look like an ASSHOLE in front of everyone all over the world. in fact, if he had said no I might be seeing a post of a different color from you Perez. I understand that it was practically fake and it definitley teaches bad lessons to kids about how to go about getting what they want and its completely unfair to all the other contestants on all the other shows hes involved with and etc. But honestly, with the audience acting the way they were that night and the hosts caudling the child what else did we expect Simon to do? Hes just not that stupid…



    69. 569

      THAT IS SOOO SOOO SAD!



    70. 570

      question …what would u have said if he didnt give her a chance???
      you would go on and on ….saying he is so cruel ….and blah blah…no one can do riight to u PEREZ



    71. 571

      That shit was so fake! There was not one tear. Love that song though, and she did well.. but looked staged to me.

    72. cessy says – reply to this


      572

      shut up perez. you're such a dick. she got distracted from all the screaming and got nervous you fucking asshole



    73. 573

      Poor girl. :(
